This should be OK, believe it or not - the sunrpc headers use older (K&R) style function prototypes. Some information if you're interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_programming_language#K.26R_C > and the source code (clnt_tcp.c) definition had the line <snip> > This code does not compile. It shouldn't. This is part of the sunrpc library - you shouldn't have to rebuild it. Instead, you should be able to use the clnttcp_create() function from the library by including <rpc/rpc.h> in your source file, and linking to the rpc libraries by using -lrpc. For example: /* Compile: gcc -o rpc-example.exe rpc-example.c -lrpc */ #include <rpc/rpc.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { clnttcp_create(NULL, 0, 0, NULL, 0, 0); return 0; } Note that the above doesn't actually do anything useful - it just shows you how to include the rpc headers, and compile and link to the rpc libraries. -Samrobb -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
